Former White House lawyers Pat Cipollone and Pat Philbin appeared at a federal court in Washington, the most high-profile witnesses to testify before a grand jury probing the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol
Pat Cipollone, the former White House counsel, and his attorney Michael Purpura arrived at the federal courthouse shortly after 9:30 a.m. on Friday, where they were greeted in the hallway by Thomas Windom, the lead prosecutor investigating a failed bid by former President Donald Trump's allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election by submitting alternative slates of fake electors to the U.S. National Archives.
Philbin was inside the courthouse for approximately two hours, before exiting with Purpura without speaking to reporters. The fake elector plot has featured prominently in multiple hearings of the Democratic-led House of Representatives committee probing the attack on the U.S. Capitol. It has also seized the phones of Republican congressman Scott Perry, a Trump ally, and Jeffrey Clark, a former top Justice Department lawyer who also tried to promote a plan which entailed urging Georgia state lawmakers to convene a new session and submit alternate slates of electors on the false premise of voter fraud.
